To be fair, Gotham wasn't an island back then!

(The Atlas of the DC Universe 1990)

Was Glendale a thing before Moore said its name just then? I do not remember even a little bit, but apparently its the home of the GITs (Gotham Institute of Technology)

(Saga of the Swamp Thing #52)

Translated Alan Moore here: Gotham doesn’t have any established geography, does it? Nah.

You are making my head hurt, Moore. Glendale? “Once a separate town”? There were MULTIPLE towns on the islands?
